Shoyu (Soy Sauce) Ramen

Miso Ramen
A flavorful miso soup made with a broth of Rausu kombu and various kinds of dried fish, enhanced with miso, soy sauce tare, and soy milk.
Grilled Gyoza
Each dumpling is carefully handmade using a filling of freshly minced vegetables and ground pork, then wrapped in a delicate gyoza skin and pan-fried to a crispy finish.
Ramen is a noodle soup dish and perhaps one of the most popular Japanese dishes. There are many flavours of ramen, such as Shoyu (soy sauce) ramen, Miso ramen, Tonkotsu (pork bone) ramen and so on. Common toppings are Chashu (braised pork), Negi (green onion) and Nori (dried seaweed).
Gyoza is a dumpling using wrapping thing dough to hold the inner ingredients. Most commonly, minced pork, cabbage, Garlic and Leek. The origin of Gyoza is from China but it has evolved uniquely in Japan and now quite different from the Chinese one.
Miso soup is a traditional Japanese soup. It's base is "dashi" (Japanese fish stock) and Miso paste. Common added ingredients are Tofu, Green onion and deep‐fried tofu but differs by personal preference. The type of miso is different from region. In western and Easter Japan white miso is mostly used.
